Meet Apollo!Apollo is a handsome, rough Collie just over one year old, with a long, beautiful coat that flows in the wind wherever he goes. He's a striking boy who turns heads, and he's just as special on the inside as he is on the outside.Apollo would do best with adopters who are familiar with the rough Collie breed and understand their typical needs, including grooming, exercise, and mental enrichment. He can be cautious at times, especially when meeting new people, experiencing new environments, or hearing loud sounds. Because of this, Apollo will need a patient, understanding home willing to give him time to feel safe and build confidence.Once he's comfortable, Apollo's sweet personality truly shines. He is cuddly, affectionate, and calm. He loves relaxing with his people, rubbing up against you for pets, and giving gentle little kisses. Outside is a different story-Apollo is energetic, playful, and full of enthusiasm. He loves to run, play with toys, and burn off energy, making him a great companion for long walks and active days.Apollo is very smart and enjoys learning new tricks, so training and enrichment activities are a great way to bond with him. Apollo is looking for a mature home without cats or small animals.Apollo will make a loving, loyal companion who brings both beauty and heart into the home.

**IF THIS LISTING IS STILL POSTED THIS DOG IS STILL AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION. NO NEED TO EMAIL ASKING IF THE DOG IS AVAILABLE. PLEASE READ THROUGH THIS BIO THOROUGHLY AS INFORMATION ON HOW TO APPLY IS CONTAINED IN THIS LISTING** For Adoption: Cohen! Please read our dog bios carefully to be sure that the dog you are applying for suits your family and lifestyle. We at PDR believe in the benefits of post-adoption training for our dogs and their families. This allows for continued socialization, learning and helps to create a well-mannered and balanced dog. Post-adoption training is a requirement in our adoption process. To apply for adoption and for more information on our process and requirements, visit our website at https://pounddog.ca/adoption-info/. This beautiful boy is Cohen. He is a male Collie/German Shepherd/Husky mix 3mth puppy. Who ever is so lucky to add this sweetie to their family will be getting a compact well-balanced dog, a great family dog. His multi-colour coat is thick and soft. His all over colour and markings make him such a stunning boy. Cohen is in his foster home with his two siblings ‘Barker’ and ‘Buns’, also has two grown foster dog siblings. Gets along great with them and shows no food/toy aggression. Cohen will be a medium size strong dog when fully grown, weighing approximately 45+ pounds, gentle, affectionate and friendly nature. He is confident, smart, fun and an adventurous boy. Of course, you have to get through the crazy puppy stage, but he will become, when trained and socialized properly, a fantastic dog! Cohen is very affectionate and does not want to be left behind, he will go to the ends to find a human to be around. He is a high energy pup, active when awake and then loves to snuggle when he is tired. His favourite spot to cuddle is between your legs, soon as our lazy boy chair goes up he know thats his invite to be our cuddle bugs. He is very intelligent, and eager to please. He learns quick and thrives to make his human happy when doing something he is asked. Outside his curiosity gets the best of him, loves to explore so will need to have a close watch on him. However, his his recall is amazing. Inside he has no problems occupying himself with toys and chewing on bones. We will only consider a home where someone is home or has the capabilities to come home throughout the day multiple times as a puppy cannot hold it for more than a few hours at his age. We are also looking for families that are fully aware of the time commitment of a puppy and the work involved. Puppies are a total joy and bring so much love and happiness into a home, but you cannot underestimate the work and time involved in raising a puppy properly. They need constant supervision while young to continue expediting the house-training stage and to ensure they aren’t chewing on anything inappropriate. We are also looking for a family that will crate train as we fully believe that this is the best for pups and offers them a quiet and secure “den” to call their own. A crate trained pup is a blessing as it offers a safe place to put them when you can’t be watching them all the time. We will consider a home with children over 10yrs of age. Cohen is at the terrible nippy/jumpy/bitey stage and will be too much for younger children, especially being on the more strong side. If there will be young children in the home (7yrs to 10yrs) then we would need the family to be experienced dog owners who are fully aware of how to manage a young, excitable puppy with young, excitable children. Supervision is key and the adults in the home would need to ensure that puppy/children management is a task they wish to take on. For a home without young children we would consider 1st time dog owners. Any family considering him needs to take obedience training and socialization seriously and have the time to dedicate in the 1st year especially of the dog’s life to this. The more that is done in their 1st year, the better dogs they will be! Cohen can go to a home with or without another dog. However, if another dog he/she will need to be the same size of dog and well natured. A home with a cat would be fine as well keeping in mind that proper training and supervision is key around a cat. Cohen is not suitable for apartment living, as he enjoys the outside too much and will want a yard to spend supervised time in. He will be fine with a townhouse/condo as long as he has access to an outside area. Keeping in mind of course that while he is settling in, a crying puppy in the crate when no one is home is to be expected so if an attached living situation, there must be good noise barriers to avoid neighbour complaints. Cohen is catching on to house-training well, he goes and sits by the door until you let him out. In his new home he will need a set routine for outside potty times for the first while. Expect to take him out every few hours, after every meal and after crate time. Cohen will be suited for higher energy activities so active people would be a great fit, he will need approximately 60+ minutes of exercise every day, not just simple walks around the block though. He will need a home with a yard, a fenced in yard would be ideal and convenient for puppy training but is not mandatory. Cohen has not had much experience on leash walking so time and patience will be very important for the first few weeks. He has also not been exposed to high traffic areas so many smaller walks during the day for the first bit will be a benefit for his leash confidence. Adopters will be responsible for the continuation of puppy vaccinations and all other required vet care at their veterinarian of choice. Cohen has had everything medically that puppies their age should have. and microchipped as well. The forever family must also not have any holidays away planned for months coming up after adoption or be planning to move in the near future. Stability is key in months after adoption. We will be expecting our adoptive families to attend at minimum, level 1 obedience school as soon as possible after his adoption. The guidance and lessons learned in puppy classes are very important to getting your pup off to a good start. We handle his every day and will be offering him everything he needs to be the best pup he can be when he leaves our care but we need the adoptive families to take over for us when they get her home. We take our responsibilities very seriously and only want the best. We adore Cohen and will settle for nothing less than a dedicated, loving family that is well aware of the breed (all) requirements and the needs of this breed mix. We also are looking for families that want the dogs they will grow to become, not just the little bundle of furry cuteness. If you have been thinking about adding a puppy to your family and have the time and patience to properly raise a pup then Cohen may just be perfect for you. We know you will fall in love with him as deeply as we have when you meet him. He is simply adorable.

This high energy little lady is quite the looker. With her beautiful tricolor coat, and big satellite dish ears she is cute as can be. Mariah is a somewhat unique mix of Collie, German Shepherd, and Husky. Although it is hard to say, we think Mariah may end up being around 40lbs when she is full grown which would match the size of the mother dog. Mariah has come to PDR along with her siblings after being discarded by a puppy mill. From the moment she walked into her foster home she has been all silliness and sass! She is an extremely personable pup and has warmed up immediately to all the people she has met . She is an energy-packed puppy who loves to zoom around and wrestle with her foster siblings. Like a typical puppy, Mariah is currently teething so EVERYTHING goes in her mouth. Her future forever family will need to keep a close eye on her as he continues to learn what is safe for chewing and what is not. So far Mariah is showing herself to be quite a smart little pup and is picking up on the routine of day to day life quite quickly. She has been learning about crate training, and spends her evenings and times when her foster family is out of the house in her crate. While she is quite calm sleeping in her crate at night she does still take a few minutes to settle while being crated. Crate training is an excellent tool to keep puppies safe when they are unattended and to help them develop a sense of independence while not with their “pack”. Mariah has had a visit with the vet and has been given her puppy vaccinations, microchipped and has been treated for fleas/ticks/intestinal parasites. It was noted by the PDR vets that she has a fairly significant overbite that is not causing her any major issues at this time. She is quite young her jaw will continue to adjust as she grows, however it should be on her future family’s radar as her vet will need to monitor her teeth alignment once she is full grown if the overbite remains. As far as non-medical needs go she has shown to be tolerant of grooming such as baths and nail cuttings without much if any fussing at all. Like most puppies this silly girl loves to play hard! She loves playing tug of war and running around the house chasing her foster siblings or fetching toys. She is especially cute playing fetch as she likes to bound like a cat pouncing on her toys. Her foster family is working on teaching her how to relax as well as play politely, as this is a skill that puppies develop over time. When she is finally tuckered out and sits still she loves a good cuddle with her foster humans and doggy siblings. Mariah has been learning to walk on leash, and has started taking small walks outside through the neighborhood. She is also working on her house training, which, as a puppy, is a work in progress that requires consistency from her humans and lots of patience. Her forever family should know that puppies need to be taken outside for bathroom breaks very regularly when they are small and will not be able to hold it for an 8hr work day. Currently she can only hold it during the day/overnight for a max of 3 to 4 hrs so her forever family will need to be able to accommodate a puppy schedule. She is also still waking up once in the night for a potty break. We are looking for families that are fully aware of the time commitment of a puppy and the work involved. Puppies are a total joy and bring so much love and happiness into a home, but you cannot underestimate the work and time involved in raising a puppy properly. Mariah would do best in a home with a fenced in yard where she can safely run around and can be supervised outdoors at all times while she’s still young. She would do best with one to two good walks a day (shorter ones while young), and will grow into a very active dog that would need longer activities and hikes. She is going to be a very energetic dog that requires a lot of fast paced exercise when older. She will not be suitable for those who can only accommodate a short, slower paced walk, her people need to be active and outdoorsy who will take her on long walks, hikes, runs etc. Although she may not grow to be very big, she will be very athletic and very active and only those who are currently very active and outdoorsy people should consider this cute puppy. Mariah has been showing us just what a sweet fun girl she can be.! She is quite smart but also has a lot of opinions on what she likes to do! She can be quite the vocal little lady, which is quite common for the husky breed. Fun fact: she was named Mariah both because she was a Christmas intake, and her ability to sustain a high note! Because of this we do not recommend that he go to a forever home in an apartment or condo, but instead will need a detached home. She will need a family that understands how important boundaries are for puppies, even when she voices her disagreement. Mariah has been very well behaved with the other dogs that she has met, and so far has not shown any interest in small animals outside. She has not been tested with cats. We think she would do well with an older male dog sibling to show her the ropes, but also would do great as a solo dog in a home. Because of her age, she needs a family with children 7 years of age or older who can handle puppy antics, be careful to close doors, and understand that sometimes hands look like toys when playing and can be nipped. Mariah has been a sweet and silly puppy since she walked through the door, and her foster family thinks she is quite the catch. It has been a riot watching her bounce around the snow like a bunny, and enthusiastically discover the world around her. Her excitement and enthusiasm is sure to bring endless joy to the family that gets to experience the adventures of life with her.
